Open quantum systems

Work is focused on developing the theory of open quantum systems for applications in quantum optics and quantum information. Current work deals in particular with the application of quantum stochastic processes (quantum trajectories) to cascaded open systems, i.e., situations where the output of one open system drives another, with the possible extrapolation to arrays of open systems and/or the inclusion of feedback.
